The organisers of the Bahrain GP are keen to see F1 return to their circuit, however, are not sure if it will be this season.
The Bahrain GP was scheduled to take place in March but was postponed after political unrest swept through the island kingdom.
And although Bernie Ecclestone is determined to give the country until "early June or something like that" to resolve their issues, the Bahrain organisers concede their first priority must be to resolve the political issues within the country.
"We gratefully acknowledge the understanding of Formula One Management and the FIA in what have been difficult times," Bahrain International Circuit chairman Zayed Rashid Alzayani said in a statement.
"We also thank the continued support of the international motorsport community and Formula 1 fans around the world.
"Clearly our national priority is to find a resolution to the difficulties that the kingdom of Bahrain has experienced.
"The national situation has moved on in a positive manner, the situation is evolving all the time; our day-to-day life is gradually improving under the current State of National Safety.
"Bahrain's grand prix is a time of celebration and hosting the race is a source of great pride for Bahrain and Bahrainis.
"It is a showcase to the world and we look forward to welcoming the teams and drivers and everyone involved in Formula 1 back to Bahrain in the very near future."
